Since #8350 (2026-09-09) deltachat-jsonrpc-bindings build-depends on deltachat-jsonrpc, so clippy, nextest and the doctests, which select the whole workspace, compiled core and its whole dependency tree a second time for the host. The lint job also checked every dependency twice, once per panic strategy, and repeated clippy's checks in a separate all-features `cargo check`. With a warm cache on 4 CPUs on my machine, the lint job drops from 150 to 60 seconds and the tests build from 100 to 75 seconds. Peak memory falls for lint from 5.1 to 3.5 GiB and for tests 7.5 to 5.4 GiB.
Continuous Integration Scripts for Delta Chat
Continuous Integration, run through GitHub Actions and an own build machine.
Description of scripts
-
clippy.shrunscargo clippyfor all Rust code in the project. -
deny.shrunscargo denyfor all Rust code in the project. -
codespell.shspellchecks the source code usingcodespelltool. -
../.github/workflowscontains jobs run by GitHub Actions. -
run-python-test.shruns CFFI Python tests. -
run-rpc-test.shruns JSON-RPC Python tests. -
make-python-testenv.shcreates a local python test development environment with CFFI bindings. Reusing the same environment is faster than runningrun-python-test.shwhich always recreates environment from scratch and runs additional lints. -
make-rpc-testenv.shcreates a local python development environment with JSON-RPC bindings, i.e.deltachat-rpc-clientanddeltachat-rpc-server. -
remote_tests_python.shrsyncs to a build machine and runs JSON-RPC Python tests remotely on the build machine. -
remote_tests_rust.shrsyncs to the build machine and runs Rust tests remotely on the build machine. -
run-doxygen.shgenerates C-docs which are then uploaded to https://c.delta.chat/ -
run_all.shbuilds Python wheels -
android-rpc-server.shcompiles binaries ofdeltachat-rpc-serverusing Android NDK. -
future-sizes.shprints the sizes of the largest Futures. This can be helpful because Async Rust can lead to huge futures, increasing RAM usage and compilation times.
Triggering runs on the build machine locally (fast!)
There is experimental support for triggering a remote Python or Rust test run from your local checkout/branch. You will need to be authorized to login to the build machine (ask your friendly sysadmin on #deltachat Libera Chat) to type:
scripts/manual_remote_tests.sh rust
scripts/manual_remote_tests.sh python
This will rsync your current checkout to the remote build machine (no need to commit before) and then run either rust or python tests.
